Health services are widely available in Belton, which boasts 259 physicians per 100,000 population, significantly more than the U.S. average of 210. Area medical facilities include Baylor Scott & White Medical Center, which offers expert senior care. Getting nursing home care in the city is similarly economical, according to the Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey's report that average nursing home costs are $5,247, or $2,661 less than the national average.
Nursing homes can be ideal for seniors who need 24/7 monitoring and therapy services. Nursing staff manage medications, administer physical and occupational therapy and carry out specialized medical tasks, such as wound care, for seniors who need them. Seniors with less intensive medical needs might find a better fit with assisted living or home care, which may also be less expensive.

Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
If these options aren't available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about local financial assistance programs for seniors.
